LITTLE INDIAN -- "The life of Little Indian, on the prairie and in the forest, is full of exciting adventures. His battle with the wildcat that, in the dead of night, attacks his favorite pony; his escape from a band of hostile Indians to the island of the Great Beaver; his pursuit of the red-winded goose and her seven snow-white goslings will thrill and stir the young imagination." -- illustrated by Lee Haynes. 1922, Saalfield. 1934, Grosset and Dunlap.

RED FEATHER -- "Red Feather" is the warrior name given to "Little Indian.". In this story the boy learns some of the secrets of healing and his friends, the animals, teach him the Medicine Song. He goes out on his first big hunt with the braves of the tribe and through his daring and skill wins his war shield. And now, no longer considered a child, he is sent on his first important mission for the tribe." -- 1934, Grosset and Dunlap.

But his plot to harm and disgrace Red Feather fails and the son of Big Chief safely reaches the distant camp." -- 1934, Grosset and Dunlap.
